Let your readers talk with your book — and with you.
Books Alive! turns each of your books into a living, immersive experience. Readers ask your book anything and get answers grounded in your pages, in your style, with the chapter and page cited. You share in every reader subscription, month after month.
One intake. We build it. You try it before it lists.

Tell us once
One intake, about 30 minutes, mostly clicks. Fiction or nonfiction, and you can switch. It saves as you go. Later books ask only a few questions.
Confirm your rights
Sign a short rights statement for each book. We never build from a book whose rights are unclear.
We build it
Your themed author page, a page for each book styled from your own cover art, and the full reader experience — built and hosted for you.
Preview 48 hours
Try the full experience. Your card is saved but not charged. If you do not cancel within 48 hours, your book lists and its listing is charged.
An immersive way into your work
- Ask the book anything — answers grounded in your text, with chapter and page cited.
- Author Style or Generic Style — answers in the voice of your writing, or plainly.
- Listen — your own voice for your own words; studio voices for everything else.
- Walk into the chapters — scene imagery you approve.
- Hear from you — your notes, letters and approved answers, signed as yours.
A private workspace with your book and your readers
- Talk with your own book — test it, explore it, see what readers see.
- See what readers ask — learn what resonates and what they want next.
- Speak to your readership — approve answers and publish commentary in your own words.
- Design your pages — upload your cover art and portrait, set your look, add your bio.
- Recurring income — a share of every monthly reader pass for your book.
Your older books may be your most valuable books here.
Out of print. Hard to find. Read by a generation that has moved on — and unknown to the one that came after. Books Alive! gives that work a second life.
Every title becomes something readers can question and learn from, earning every month instead of sitting on a shelf.
Built so your work stays yours.
Interact, don’t copy
Readers interact with your book. They cannot read the full text online unless you, as copyright holder, choose to allow it.
Your voice, your words only
If you create an AI version of your voice, it reads only what you wrote or approved. Everything else is read by a studio voice.
Your look, your approval
Cover-inspired design and scene imagery are used only with your permission.
Author-grade security
Your Studio uses a system-issued long secret plus an authenticator code. Author credentials are never chosen or reset by email.
Rights you hold
To list a book you need the copyright, or written permission from your publisher. Many older titles have reverted to their authors — check your contracts.
Or we ask your publisher
Where your publisher holds the rights, we can ask them for you. Those books list once the publisher agrees, on separate terms that share revenue with the publisher.
One listing per book. A share of every reader.
Per book
Each book has its own 48-hour preview and its own listing charge, shown before you add your card. Includes the build, hosting and your author workspace.
30% off
Authors list as ipakedu.online members, and members get 30% off their first listing, applied at checkout. Membership
Half is yours
Readers subscribe monthly, per book. For books whose rights you hold, half of every reader pass for your book is yours.
Books listed through a publisher follow the terms agreed with that publisher.
Every listing gets every upgrade.
We are already building the next release: richer reader experiences, more ways to reach your readership, and expanded audio. Books you list now receive each new feature as it ships.
Bring your first book to life.
Sign up with your email and start your intake. It saves as you go, so you can stop and come back.
